A dead zone is not where your phone stops hearing the router. It is where the router stops hearing your phone. Why heatmap apps miss it, the three clues a field tech reads instead, and the fixes that actually work in order.
Slow internet isn’t one problem — it’s six, tangled together. This is the fault-isolation order an operator actually uses: wired baseline first, ISP-side limits last, and the five checks in between that catch most homes before they call support or buy new gear.
Most homes don’t need Wi-Fi 7 — not for speed. Between the plan you pay for and the video that stutters sit seven links, and the radio is only one of them. Three tests, fifteen minutes, and an honest verdict from the manufacturer’s side of the table.
Channel width is not a free speed upgrade. Widening the channel spends spectrum, raises the noise floor, and puts you on top of your neighbors — here is what to actually set on 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz.
